Kuala Lumpur, 20 November 2012 - Twelve schools adopted by Malaysia Airports 'graduated' today, as Malaysia Airports completed the three years adoption
period under Beyond Borders, its flagship Corporate Responsibility (CR) programme for the community.

Malaysia Airports has adopted a total of 21 schools since 2007. As a sustainable CR programme, Malaysia Airports will continue to adopt other schools with
the aspiration to achieve better results and emulate the achievement of the past 21 adopted schools especially in terms of usage and application of the
English language.

Tan Sri Datuk Dr Wan Abdul Aziz Wan Abdullah, Chairman of Malaysia Airports in his speech said, "In this second phase, the students' proficiency in English
language has shown encouraging improvement. This year, the adopted schools have shown a tremendous improvement by achieving an average percentage of 75%
passes in English subject for year 2012 compared to only 52% when we first started the programme in 2010.

We are delighted that Beyond Borders has helped to nurture quality students especially those who are in Year 6, and increased the percentage of passes in
English subject. It is apparent that since the inception of Beyond Borders, the schools have benefited from the programme and have managed to tackle what
was once a killer subject for most schools."

The twelve adopted schools were chosen based on the proximity to the airport, experiencing academic and economic challenge, and Malaysia Airports plan to
continue with this criterion in choosing the future schools for adoption, in the effort to contribute to the surrounding communities that Malaysia Airports
operates in (list of adopted schools attached).

This noble effort of contributing to the development of communities through education has seen Malaysia Airports awarded the prestigious Community
Engagement Award by Enterprise Asia in the Asia Responsible Entrepreneurship Awards (AREA) 2009 Malaysia and two awards in the The StarBiz-ICR Malaysia Corporate Responsibility Awards 2009, for the Community and Environment categories.

Tan Sri Wan Abdul Aziz said, "I am proud to say that our dedicated team, that consist of Malaysia Airports staff as well as the school teachers and
representatives from the Ministry of Education, has worked closely hand-in-hand and created a truly comprehensive framework to realise the aspiration of
Beyond Borders to improve the academic achievement particularly in the English Language. The framework also addresses personal efficacy and development of
greater self-esteem for all teachers and students."

Beyond Borders advocates four different competitive programmes that serve as the pillars, namely Golden Pen Award Essay Writing Competition, Beyond Borders
Interschool Project Competition, Planet Green Interschool Project Competition and 'Act It Up' Interschool Drama Competition. Atotal of RM31,150 cash prizes
